Forgotten pet peeve

[sixsracing]

In light of Calimus/Kuklaki's trans. problem I hate to complain, but I just experienced another of my pet peeves. Wrong parts. I broke an emergency brake cable Friday when I got to work, no big deal, go down to my old shop and pick one up. I got home on Saturday after a couple of rounds of disc golf (awesome new course) and dismantle the Cabby. No matter how many times I shove the forward section of cable up through the hole towards the e-brake handle I can't see the cable. Take the cable out and compare to the old one. Found the problem! Look at the package, bingo, a 191 prefix. 85 on Golf/Jetta. I can't leave the car apart and on the lift because I have customers cars stacked up in the driveway to fix. Re-assemble the car without fixing it and proceed to install a Volvo 240 exhaust and an oil change on my Vanagon. Nothing ticks me off more than putting something back together without fixing the defect. Hope everyone else had a better Saturday.

I know how you feel. We have received the wrong part several times, mostly ones ordered from the stealership. I dont know what is worse-being disappointed after looking forward to the problem getting fixed, or having to make that 45 miles trip (one way) to return the wrong part.
